Hi Bill and HielkeJ
Hiekel I'm glad youve got it working, because it will save me a **** of a lot of typing !
Good morning to you both 11.10am here in the UK
Firstly THANK YOU for getting back on this...I've literally just come off the phone to Yamaha UK and as always their support is brilliant.
NOT “Bonus Playlist for SX700” If the word BONUS is in the file.
it won't work.
That's the bit that the techie at Yamaha has said gives everybody the problems. It's caught out many an SX user.
It's not immediately apparent that there is another folder within the downloaded one. It gets even more confusing that they keep referring to the root folder. On a brand new USB stick for most people I suspect, and the tech guy confirms, they won't know what that means, and of course a new formatted stick has zilch on it at all......So Root folder
Yeah....where... what's that?
So with his online assistance and a fresh USB stick and my SX700 switched on, he immediately picked that up as the issue.
If your Playlist screen is showing the word BONUS in front of the rest of the file it won't work. And you can't simply rename it.
Anyway glad it's resolved. Thanks to Eileen who correctly identified that the PSR SX-700 isn't a 2 USB keyboard, so if you're using a hub it can cause problems.
And from the Tech who says to ALWAYS use Windows own extractor to download their Yamaha files. I've used 7 Zip for ages, and never had a problem, but it wasn't playing ball on this one.
And so to you all Bill, Fred, Eileen....Thank you.
I think I'm gonna go and play something now to un-fuddle my brain. Maybe "Fiddle Faddle".
Keith.
